In the outer gardens to which the guard now escorted me, I found Xodar surrounded by a crowd of noble blacks. They were reviling1 and cursing him. The men slapped his face. The women spat2 upon him.
When I appeared they turned their attentions toward me.
"Ah," cried one, "so this is the creature who overcame the great Xodar bare-handed. Let us see how it was done."
"Let him bind3 Thurid," suggested a beautiful woman, laughing. "Thurid is a noble Dator. Let Thurid show the dog what it means to face a real man."
"Yes, Thurid! Thurid!" cried a dozen voices.
"Here he is now," exclaimed another, and turning in the direction indicated I saw a huge black weighed down with resplendent ornaments4 and arms advancing with noble and gallant5 bearing toward us.
"What now?" he cried. "What would you of Thurid?"
Quickly a dozen voices explained.
"Calot!" he hissed7. "Ever did I think you carried the heart of a sorak in your putrid8 breast. Often have you bested me in the secret councils of Issus, but now in the field of war where men are truly gauged9 your scabby heart hath revealed its sores to all the world. Calot, I spurn10 you with my foot," and with the words he turned to kick Xodar.
